Held from 20-25 February, at the Changi Exhibition Centre, the ninth edition of the Singapore Airshow returns on the 20-25 February 2024 following two editions of trimmed scope and scale due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Singapore Airshow, Asia's most influential aerospace and defence exhibition is back. The highly anticipated ninth edition of the biennial event will offer a larger platform for industry leaders, high-level government, and military delegations to exchange ideas, drive strategic conversations on sustainable aviation, foster collaboration and chart a course for transforming the aerospace and defence industry.
Trade attendees can expect more than 1,000 participating companies from more than 50 countries/regions. In addition to returning exhibitors such as Airbus, AVIC, Boeing, Bombardier, COMAC, Dassault Aviation, GE Aerospace, Honeywell, L3Harris, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Rolls-Royce, Safran, ST Engineering, Textron Aviation and Thales, attendees can also look out for first-time country pavilions from China, Czech Republic, Japan, and Korea. Other country pavilions expected at the event include Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, the UK, the US and Switzerland. First-time participants including JetZero and Panasonic Avionics will showcase blended-wing aircraft developments and in-flight passenger experience, respectively.
Together with McKinsey & Company, Singapore Airshow will present the Sustainable Aviation Forum as part of its AeroForum series. A panel of experts will take a deep dive on critical topics such as the challenges and opportunities within sustainable aviation including regulatory regimes, technology innovation and R&D collaborations with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions. These include exploring strategies for decarbonising the aviation sector and the pivotal role of sustainable aviation fuel in reducing the aviation sector’s carbon footprint.
Beyond sustainability, AeroForum facilitates crucial conversations aimed at propelling the aerospace and defence industry forward; it will present three other key sessions, namely: Aviation CEO, Advanced Air Mobility, and China-Singapore Bilateral Aviation forums, through the Singapore Airshow’s partnerships with FlightGlobal, Alton Aviation Consultancy, the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA), and the Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore) (AAIS) respectively.
“As we prepare to bring together the global aerospace and defence community at Singapore Airshow 2024 once again, we are excited to provide a platform where innovation, collaboration, and resilience converge,” said Leck Chet Lam, managing director of Experia, organiser of Singapore Airshow 2024. “The challenges faced by the industry have only strengthened our determination to drive positive change.
